Fourth time around to Ayutthaya… almost feels like a I live there. This time around it was to take a day trip from Bangkok to visit the ruins of Thailand’s former capital with my cousins who were visiting from Canada via Hong Kong. I met up with them on Sunday for an afternoon of shopping at Chatuchak weekend market, or known to the locals as “JJ”, and then dinner at Cabbages and Condoms<\/a>. On Monday, we met up early at Bangkok’s train station to head 2 hours north to Ayutthaya. Other than an all day shopping fest on Tuesday, this was, I hope, the highlight to my cousins trip. Well, I enjoyed it even if I’ve been here four times… here are a few photos from that day.<\/p>\n
